Take A Stand


I once asked my teacher a question "How does one get someone's attention?" She looked and sighed That's how I know my question is justified. She turned from the board And showed compassion like a lord. "Do what people consider insane." Answered my teacher who just grabbed onto her cane. I thought it over as I didn't understand "Why would a person not be so bland?" "How do I even go so far as to be crazy?" Now the picture seemed less hazy. Speak out against the world and its cruelty Maybe one day you could be royalty. Don't run when you have the chance Instead take it and show the world your stance.

I want to live out my life for the people who will express theirs. I am utterly gracious to know people in this world who are braver than I am. And for that I applaud you.
